The hostel is the perfect no frills place to stay in bangkok. The location in beautiful chinatown offers access to the tourist-y and less tourist-y stuff. Delicious street food as well as restaurants, beautiful rooftop, amazing massages, all around the corner. The proximity to the river allows for cheap public boat rides to the temples museums and palace. The place is clean and practical. Has a good coffee shop to hang out in the AC when it gets too hot.
